Cause: Marriage and New York Times

From the 1960s to 2010, the marriage rates have dropped drastically for the working-class whites. Charles Murray wrote a book last year, Coming Apart: The State of White America. In this book, Murray explains what the statistics are and what they mean. In the 1960s, the middle-class marriage rate was 94% and the working-class was 84%. In 2010, middle-class is 83% and the working-class is 48%. This means in about 50 years, the marriage rates dropped 11 points in the middle-class and a mind-blowing 36% in the working-class. This decline in marriage rates has been perceived by some as a big problem. So what is the cause of this big 36% decline in working-class marriages? Well, some would argue that the working-class whites have a higher divorce rate because of the economic issues that this class goes through. In the working-class, there are low household incomes, low education levels, and parents who are divorced. Of course, any from that group can get married or not get divorced. Having those factors or a combination of those factors could simply mean a higher chance of not being married or getting divorced at some point in life.

The one of the economic issues that the working class has always faced is a vast majority of this class only has one person to bring in an income. Since this group had the blue collar jobs, the money is usually lower than it cost to keep up the things they have in their homes including the houses themselves. In many cases the money was brought in by the male. Now both men and women bring in the money. Recently, many women don’t think they need to get married until much later because of the financial issues that come of some marriages they have seen fall apart in front of them. Now that men and women can make the money we see more “Egalitarian marriages — in which wives are in every sense their husbands’ peers.” (Paul) they make as much if not more money than the men and they spend time figuring out where the money should be going.

...The NewYorkTimes
The NewYorkTimes is a well established newspaper in our nation today that is known for their elite writers and editors. The popular newspaper company has been publishing newspapers out of NewYork City since 1851 and was first called the NewYork Daily Times but later changed to just The NewYorkTimes in 1857. The NewYorkTimes is considered the last major newspaper to put colored images inside their papers. Their philosophy was to stay true to black and white and put “All the news that fit to print.” It wasn’t until 1997 when the first colored image appeared on a NewYorkTimes paper. This research paper involved looking back over 50 plus years of news articles back in 1960, as well as 1990 and present day.
The first paper we looked is The NewYorkTimes publication on March 16, 1960. The first thing that caught my eye about this newspaper is the amount of news stories it displays on just the front page. There were 14 different news stories that all started on the first page and would be continued into later pages. The headline story for this particular day read “350...

...or even chemically. Biorobotics is a fairly new technology that still has a while before it becomes widespread. Some uses are prosthetics, long distance surgery, robotic surgery, robots used as doctors in the military, and robots used in nursing homes. Biorobotics is the future of this medical world. This is possible in three ways, by using it in surgery, on the battlefield, and assistance.
The first way biorobotics will become the future of the medical world is in surgery. Many people in this world need surgery for various different diseases, illnesses and injuries. The use of biorobotics helps to increase patient security. The patients feel safer when they know a human controlled robot will perform the procedure rather than leaving the chances of success to any unsteady hand of a human. This leads to not only a higher success rate in surgery but more patients choosing to perform surgery in the first place, which could be a life or death situation.(Parker-Pope) It is not unlikely that patients opt out of surgery. Another reason they might choose to opt out is because of the quality and experience of the surgeon. Some patients only trust well known and recommended surgeons to perform surgery on them, even if they are on the other side of the country. With biorobotics, surgeons can now perform surgery from their home state on any one around the world. In 2001, surgery was done successfully with the surgeon in NewYork...

...were punishable by death by law of the Twelve Tables. In Roman jurisprudence the offences were dealt with in a ways similar to modern law. Statements made in public were considered an offence, yet those made in private were not. The truth was a sufficient defense. Many libel and slander laws descend from the English law of defamation. The first documented case of libel was tried by the Star Chamber in the reign of James I. American laws regulating slander and libel began previous to the American Revolution. In one of the more significant cases NewYork publisher John Peter Zenger was accused and brought to trial on charges of libel. In 1734 the German immigrant published an article "attacking" Governor Cosby of the NewYork Colony. His case was won and the trial aquitted. This case showed the oppsite side of the spectrum, on how to fight against
defamatory charges. Another important case occurred in 1964 in NewYorkTimes v. Sullivan. This case set a preesident for libel cases. It stated that officials could only win a suit if they demonstrated actual malice, knowledge that the information was false, and reckless disregard of whether it was false or not. In 1974 Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. the supremecourt ruled that plaintiff could not win if the statements were oppionion rather than fact. These cases helped protect the first amendment

Bullying has evolved into a state where it can be performed through emails, text, and social networks.Thus germinating a new word; CYBERBULLYING.

Cyberbullying and Its Causes.
To prevent cyberbullying, one must know the definition and causes of this unfathomable action. According to KidsHealth, "cyberbullying is using technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, of target another person." Cyberbullying comes in all sort of cruelty and it's mostly obvious to receive a cyberbullying text or email, or even phone calls. In 2006 a poll was conducted and it was concluded that 1 in 3 teens and 1 in 6 preteens are victims of cyberbullying (Izenberg, KidsHealth).

...not sexy action in the film, but still can tell the audience about the relationship between characters. It is different from Hollywood movies. It makes the audience think and enjoyable.
It is about family problems and reality. This film reveals what is actually going on in peoples lives and how they come to terms with it.
The film has a very strong and clear idea about the scene in which Meryl and Nick give in to each other at last, even though film schools do not offer classes in how to ones your husband in bed with another woman (NewYorkTimes 2006).
Synopsis
It is a mixture of animation and live action. It is set over a hot weekend. Meryl and Nick meet at a train accident. Meryl, is returning from her father’s funeral and has until Monday to finish her project or lose her job. On the other hand, Nick has visited a doctor for a routine medical and he is facing death. Andy is thrown by his girlfriend’s ultimatum and has to consider the news of her unplanned pregnancy. The convergence of their paths creates an intriguing picture; intimate, universal and uplifting.
Context
The concept of the film is based on Sarah Watt’s own experience, and background. Sarah had in mind a very urban, industrial look. Sarah shot most of the film around the mixed industrial and neighborhood of Port Adelaide, which also gave the railway connection. (Hibiscus Films Pty Ltd. 2005)

3. “After a year, brain scans showed that among the walkers, the hippocampus had increased in volume by about 2 percent on average; in the others, it had declined by about 1.4 percent. Since such a decline is normal in older adults, ’a 2 percent increase is fairly significant,’ said the lead author, Kirk Erickson, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Both groups also improved on a test of spatial memory, but the walkers improved more. While it is hard to generalize from this study to other populations, the researchers were delighted to learn that the hippocampus might expand with exercise” (Span, 2011).
